Israel’s Lies

Israel’s government would like the world to believe that Hamas launched its Qassam rockets because that is what terrorists do and Hamas is a generic terrorist group. In fact, Hamas is no more a ‘terror organisation’ (Israel’s preferred term) than the Zionist movement was during its struggle for a Jewish homeland.

Like stomping kittens in a box

"Take some kittens, some tender little moggies in a box", said Jamal, a surgeon at the Al Shifa, Gaza's main hospital, while a nurse actually placed a couple of blood-stained cardboard boxes in front of us. "Seal up the box, then jump on it with all your weight and might, until you feel their little bones crunching, and you hear the last muffled little mew."

I stared at the boxes in astonishment, and the doctor continued: "Try to imagine what would happen after such images were circulated. The righteous outrage of public opinion, the complaints of the animal rights organisations…" The doctors went on in this vein, and I was unable to take my eyes off those boxes, sitting at our feet. "Israel trapped hundreds of civilians inside a school as if in a box, including many children, and then crushed them with all the might of its bombs. What were the world's reactions? Almost nothing. We would have been better off as animals rather than Palestinians, we would have been more protected."

'As I ran I saw three of my children. All dead'

The Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, promised an "iron fist" for Hamas and said he would treat the civilian citizens of Gaza with "silk gloves," though the Palestinians of Gaza know perhaps better than most that there are few silk gloves in war.

Israeli jets kill ‘at least 225’ in revenge strikes on Gaza

The Israeli missile attacks left hundreds of Palestinians killed or wounded in the Bureij refugee camp and elsewhere in the Gaza Strip. The strikes, which involved 60 planes, came days after a six-month ceasefire with Hamas expired. The militant group vowed to carry out revenge attacks

Israel yesterday launched its largest raid on Gaza with two waves of air attacks that killed at least 225 people and injured more than 700, according to Palestinian doctors. Children on their way home from school and policemen parading for a graduation ceremony were the principal victims of a bloody few hours that left the territory in flames.

Consider the sick and twisted mentality of a people who parade around and thump their collective chests with pride because they launched a "successful attack" against a straved and defenseless people. And, get this - the attack consisted of more than 50 fighter jets and attack helicopters. Thirty minutes later, the brave Israelis sent a second wave of 60 jets and helicopters to murder more women and children. What's even sicker and more twisted is the American reaction to this campaign of mass murder - to tell Hamas to stop attacking Israel. Go figure...

No reprieve from settler violence in sight

The Israeli government, which has encouraged the building of settlements in the West Bank in violation of international law since it occupied the territory in 1967, stated on Monday that it will act to remove settlement outposts. These are structures built in violation of international agreements, without official permission and against Israeli law but with tacit support from the Israeli authorities. In 2005, an Israeli government investigation found that state authorities had colluded with the settlement movement to establish over 100 outposts in the West Bank, donating US$17 million to such projects between 2000 and 2004.

Can you imagine the international outcry if:

These were Muslim parents teaching their children how to use automatic weapons?


These were Hizbullah kids signing rockets bound for Israel?


Hamas or Hizbullah tied a 13 year old Israeli child to a jeep as a human shield?

Yemen nabs 'Israel-linked' terror cell

Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

"A terrorist cell was arrested five days ago and will be referred to the judicial authorities for its links with the Israeli intelligence services," Saleh was quoted as saying by Yemen's official Saba news agency.

The group was acting under "the slogan of Islam," he added.

"Hundreds of Israeli settlers join in violence against Palestinians

"These hundreds are engaged in conspiratorial actions against Palestinians and the security forces. It's a very grave phenomenon...." "The margins [in the settler community] are expanding, because they are enjoying a tailwind and the backing of part of the leadership, both rabbinical and public, whether in explicit statements or tacitly."

In other words, elements of the State are supporting terror against the Palestinians - well, doesn't that make Israel a TERRORIST STATE??

Israel's breeding ground for Jewish terrorism

The words "Jewish" and "terrorist" are not easily uttered together by Israelis. But just occasionally, such as last week when one of the country's leading intellectuals was injured by a pipe bomb placed at the front door of his home, they find themselves with little choice.

Olmert decries 'evil wind of extremism' in Israel

"An evil wind of extremism, of hate, of maliciousness, of violence, of losing control, of lawbreaking, of contempt for the institutions of state, is passing though certain sections of the Israeli public," Olmert told the Cabinet.

Like a dead fish, Israel stinks from the head down - a corrupt former Prime Minister expressing concern for the terror perpetrated by a corrupt people...

Radical Settlers Take On Israel

The Jewish settlement of Itamar in the West Bank, with the Palestinian city of Nablus in the background. Some settlers are violently resisting any pullout prospect.

There have been bouts of settler violence for years, notably during the transfer of Gaza to the Palestinians in 2005. Now, though, the militants seem to have spawned a broader, more defined strategy of resistance designed to intimidate the state.

But, of course, since they're Israeli Jews, they CAN'T be terrorists - they're RADICALS...

Jerusalem: Professor Ze'ev Sternhell lightly wounded by pipe bomb

Police believe motive behind attack on renowned political scientist was 'ideological;' Peace Now condemn law enforcement authorities' lenient hand with settler groups, warn extreme Right 'a threat to democracy'

Notice how the words "terror" or "terrorist" are never used. But, isn't terrorism defined as "the use of violence to achieve an ideological or political aim?" I guess this definition only obtains if you're a Muslim - Jews are exempt...

US report: Rise in Israeli violence against Messianic Jews and Christians

Violence against Christian evangelical and Messianic Jewish communities in Israel increased significantly during the period between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008, according to the US State Department's Annual Report on International Religious Freedom. The report, released last week, put blame for the "tensions" on "certain Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities."

Ultra-Orthodox Jewish vigilantes spread fear in Jerusalem

Some residents say the self-styled "modesty squads" are spreading terror among those seen as straying from the strict moral code demanded of the ultra-Orthodox in the more conservative neighbourhoods of the Holy City.

They are perpetrating terror, so why aren't these "vigilantes" called what they really are - TERRORISTS - oh, silly me - they're Jews, that's why...

Yitzhar settlers' West Bank rampage caught on camera

"The phenomenon of [settlers] taking the law into their own hands and lashing out with violence and brutality is unforgivable, and will be dealt with by the law enforcement authorities," Olmert said.

Wink, wink, nod, nod...

Terrorists Israeli Settler fires rocket at Palestinians

"The officials said troops in the area heard a loud explosion and initially thought Palestinians were attacking the settlement of Yitzhar, where the seminary is situated. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the incident, which occurred about two weeks ago, is still being investigated by police and agents of the Shin Bet security agency."

Right - it would just have to be the Palestinians, wouldn't it?

Zionist terror 1946 to 2001

"Ehud Olmert, who would go on become the Likud Party President of Israel was present in New York City on the night of September 10, 2001. This was reported by 9/11 writer Christopher Bollyn. Olmert’s comrade that evening was Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Yet this was not mentioned in the US press, only the Israeli and foreign press. Could Olmert possibly be tied to the events, or was it just coincidence?"

EU dignitaries hurt by IDF fire during West Bank protest

"The vice president of the European parliament, an Italian judge and a Northern Irish Nobel Peace prize laureate were among the five people injured at while visiting a Palestinian village as part of a three-day international conference on non-violent resistance, which ended Friday."

Eight-year-old Palestinian girl killed by an Israeli rocket

"It seems, however, that Zionist hate for everything Palestinian has no limits as Aya was hit directly with the rocket causing her young body to be shredded into little pieces."

Evidence of Israeli 'Cowardly Blending' Comes to Light

"A new report, written by a respected Israeli human rights organization, one representing the country's Arab minority, not its Jewish majority, has unearthed evidence showing that during the fighting Israel committed war crimes not only against Lebanese civilians – as was already known – but also against its own Arab citizens. This is an aspect of the war that has been almost entirely neglected until now."
